“Life is not meant to be an open-book test.”

“While life is meant to test, challenge, and strengthen us, if we are attempting to negotiate the twists and turns and ups and downs of mortality alone, we're doing it all wrong. Mortality is a test, but it is an open book test. We have access not only to the divine text but to Him who authored it.”

“We all have life-defining moments. They are like open-book tests, but we don't know we have been examined until it is over.”

“My life's an open book. Some of the pages are a little ripped, but it's open.”

“Remember some books are meant to be tasted, some books are meant to be chewed and, finally, some books are meant to be swallowed whole.”

“We feel safe on familiar ground, the tried and tested, the accepted, the so-called ‘normal’, but life is meant to be experienced and explored, to be a journey of self-discovery and adventure.”
